BMW M6 Gran Coupe - Sapphire Black - Paint Correction & 22ple Coating Application
The owner of this vehicle was interested in having the exterior of the vehicle cleaned to the fullest extent. This rare, beautiful sports sedan underwent several days of careful cleaning, paint correction, and finally ceramic coating application for incredibly gloss and shine that will surely make this car stand out even more on the street. We also took the time to do a quick cleaning on the engine and interior for that all around clean look and feel.
Process Exterior Foam Pre-Soak: Citrus Wash Wash: Citrus Wash Decontamination: CarPro Iron X, Tarminator, Medium Speedy Prep Towel with Nanoskin Glide for lubrication Paint Readings Taken Compound: Griot's Garage Fast Correcting Creme on MF cutting pads via BOSS G21, Rupes LHR21ES, Rupes LHR75e IPA Wipe Down Polish: Griot's Perfecting Creme on Yellow Rupes Pads via BOSS G21, Rupes LHR21ES, Rupes LHR75e IPA Wipe Down Paint Protection: 22ple HPC coating (later topped with 22ple VS1 Final Coat immediately before pick up) Glass: Meguiar's D120 Exhaust: CG Metal Polish Wheels & Brakes Wheels removed and installed with protected impact sockets Wheel Wash: P21S Gel Wheel Cleaner, Citrus Wash, Various brushes Dry: Master Blaster Alcohol Wipe Down Wheel Protection: CQuartz Finest Ceramic Coating (2 coats) Tires: WaxAddicts Slickrims Tyre Shine Brakes: Steam & Meguiar's D108 Alcohol Wipe Down Protection: CQuartz Finest (2 coats) Engine Rinse Soak with Meguiar's D108 Agitate with various brushes Rinse Dry with Master Blaster Dress with 303 Aerospace Protectant Interior Blow out with compressed air Thoroughly vacuum carpets & mats Leather: Sonax Leather Foam Wipe all other surfaces with Meguiar's D149 Surely I'm forgetting something, but that is the majority of it... little over 25 man hours into this job. Heavy dirt and brake dust build up on the wheels  Tar and road grime  General dirt and water spots  Heavy soot build up  The exterior was thoroughly washed and decontaminated to prep the vehicle for polishing.  The vehicle was then thoroughly compounded to remove the majority of defects from the paint. Here are several before/after shots taken during the cutting process.                   Brake caliper before cleaning  Caliper after cleaning and coating   Barrel of wheel thoroughly cleaned and coated for excellent protection  Wheel face meticulously cleaned and coated for protection  Wheels looked stunning with those perfectly cleaned calipers behind them   Exhaust tips had seen better days, but they were cleaned up a bit.   Beginning the final polishing step. You can see where the hood looks hazy from compounding vs where it looks darker after final polishing.  Can't get enough of this carbon fiber roof  Restoring color and gloss to side skirts  This photo demonstrates the great difference in clarity between the left side which has only been compounded and the right side which has been properly polished  The paint was then wiped down with alcohol and coated with 22ple ZX3 Pro coating.  The paint was like a mirror after coating  The engine received some love and was properly cleaned. Twin turbo V8... it sounded as good as it looked.
